Title: Improvements in or relating to the automatic control of sunblinds for greenhouses orthe like
IPC: A01G9/22
Filed: 1963-01-02
Abstract: 1,038,371. Weather controlled blinds. G. THOMAS. Oct. 11, 1963 [Jan 2, 1963; April 3, 1963], No. 278/63 and 13142/63. Heading E1J. [Also in Division G1] Apparatus for controlling a blind fitted to a greenhouse consists of a reversible electric motor which brings the blind to an operative state or an inoperative state in dependence on the direction of rotation of the motor and photoelectric means and temperature sensitive means which control the direction of rotation of the motor. In the circuit of the apparatus shown a thermostatic switch 19 closes when the temperature in the greenhouse reaches a predetermined value. When the light incident on the greenhouse and on a photocell P is of a predetermined intensity the cell P becomes conductive causing a high voltage drop across a resistor R1 with the result that the voltage across a relay coil C is insufficient to keep it energized and thus a normally closed switch 19<SP>1</SP> of the relay closes. The switches 19, 19<SP>1</SP> are in series with a further relay coil 20 across the supply, and the switches 21 and 22 controlled by the coil 20 serve to connect the field 28 and armature 27 of a d.c. series motor to the supply. In the position shown, but with a limit switch 14 closed, the motor rotates to unroll the blind and when it is fully unrolled an arm 16 controlled by a worm gear drive from the blind mechanism (Fig. 1 not shown), opens the switch 14 thus disconnecting the motor from the supply. The blind in its unrolled position prevents sunlight entering the greenhouse and if then the temperature inside or the light intensity reaching the greenhouse falls to a predetermined level either or both the switches 19 and 19<SP>1</SP> open with the result that the coil 20 is de-energised and the contacts 21 and 22 change over to the position contacting the contacts 25 and 26 respectively thus driving the motor in the opposite direction and rolling up the blind until limit switch 15 is opened by the arm 16. Closure of the switch S on energisation of the coil C puts a resistor R3 and a variable resistor R2 across the coil C so reducing the holding current of the coil, so that there is an adjustable difference between the light intensities required to open and close the switch 19<SP>1</SP>. Over-riding switches M and N are provided so that the apparatus may operate only under the control of the switch 19 or the photocell P respectively.
